decent stableford

[lyricist65]

hi guys, just wandering what people consider to be a decent stableford score. i hit 34 on wednesday on a course i'd never played before, and hit 25 today on a different course.

ive only ever hit under 100 twice so i use a 28 handicap for the scoring!

My target is usually 32/33 points - if I've scored that then I've done ok.
Not on handicap but not a nightmare either.

34 is decent.

I tend to look at 30 as a good cut off. No logic behind it but if I make that barrier I know I'm not that far away from 33 (buffer zone) and 36 (handicap)

the thing with stableford is it rewards good holes and allows you to forget the bad ones, im personally not happy unless i shoot buffer, so like homerslice says 34 if poss.

i hit 32 today which doesnt do justice to how well i played, but likewise its the score i signed for:thup:

Couple of issues with this.

If the SSS is 69, don't you generally need to be 1 lower for buffer/handicap (depending on CSS of course)?

And as you are now Cat 2 clap Buffer is only 2 off CSS, as opposed to 3 when you were 13!

only been under 30 once so far this summer. it was an away day at strabane when i had a awful round. had 16 out and 18 back today for a 34. was happy to battle back. i had a couple of blanks in there. -1 for the last 4holes. good finish!
